Thank you for sharing this great project…I’ve been looking for a manageable approach to teaching an introduction to Photography and this being based on natural materials is perfect.

That’s so great to hear. Anthotype doesn’t require any chemicals, just safe plant-based materials (if you choose to work with edible plants, of course!) and fairly simple without needing any special kit. Hope you’ve found a way to explore this in your teaching. Would be great to see/hear how it went!

This is so very interesting. I would like to incorporate it within the topic of “Light”, teaching x curricular for Year 3’s. Thank you.

Has anyone tried this using a UV light box instead of sunlight? Would this speed the processing time up? Just curious of ways of maybe achieving a faster result . . . .
